In each episode, Lucas traces a specific indicator—say, the core PCE deflator or the ISM manufacturing index—while Luna challenges the consensus interpretation, pushing toward the second-order effects that get lost in the headline numbers. They never just report the data; they argue about its signal-to-noise ratio, its revisions history, and its predictive track record. This is a show for the analyst, the portfolio manager, the economist, or the business leader who needs to interpret economic releases faster and more skeptically than the press releases. Lucas and Luna hold each other accountable to the numbers, calling out the difference between statistical noise and genuine turning points. Each episode closes with one unresolved tension: a data point that defies easy narrative, a lagging indicator that might be about to flip, or a policy response that could scramble the forecast. If you want to know not just what the data said today, but whether it matters for your next decision, this is the conv…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T12:21:16.733869+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725"},"episode":{"title":"Why the Yield Curve Is Steepening Again in Mid-2026","slug":"why-the-yield-curve-is-steepening-again-in-mid-2026","published_at":"2026-07-11T06:05:50+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/why-the-yield-curve-is-steepening-again-in-mid-2026","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0107.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0107.mp3","summary":"The yield curve is steepening — but not for the reasons markets usually expect. In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the divergence between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields, what the rising term premium signals about fiscal risk, and why this steepening might be more about supply than growth. With the 10-year yield at 4.57% and the 2-year at 3.69%, the spread has widened to nearly 90 basis points — the steepest since early 2023. Lucas explains the role of quantitative tightening, the government's funding needs, and what history says about steepening curves during late-cycle expansions. A focused look at one bond-market signal that investors shouldn't ignore. #YieldCurve #TreasuryYields #TenYearYield #TwoYearYield #BondMarket #TermPremium #QuantitativeTightening #FiscalPolicy #FederalReserve #EconomicIndicators #MacroEconomics #InterestRates #Investing #MarketSignal #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsExplained #SteepeningCurve Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"The yield curve is steepening — but not for the reasons markets usually expect.
